and the hours of labor could be easily set
tied if these two other questions were out of
the way. But these two go to the very vitals
of the unions, and to concede what the con-
tractors demand is to strip the unions of most
of their power and influence.
What the unions seek to do is to monopo-
lie the supply of labor, and obviously the
nearer they get to accomplishing this the
more powerful they are. One of the ways in
which they have been able to promote this
monopoly has been by depriying non-union
men of employment, thus forcing them, fire.
quently no doubt against their will, to join
the combination. Whenever non-union
man has been hired by the contractors and
set to work the custom has been for the UNI
ion men to strike work until the boss dis
charged the offensive man; and in case the
contractor refused then frequently intimida-
ton and even violence have been brought to
bear on the non-union man to compel him to
desist or join the union.
Another way of strengthening their me-
nopoly has been by reducing as much as pos
sible the supply of labor. With this end in
view the bricklayers' unions in Chicago and
in many other cities as well, have adopted
the following as part of their constitution
This union shall not allow any one contractor
to employ more than two apprentices at one time,
and said apprentices shall remain at the business
three years before they can become journeymen,
and they shall at all times be under the control of
this union, and subject 20 the wishes of this union
during their apprenticeship, the same as jour
neyman. They shall come TO the hall at least
once every four weeks. No one over 8 years of
age shall be recognized as an apprentice except
the son OF q journeyman who is a member of this
union, or OF deceased member.
Second. No contractor will be allowed an APP
prentice until he mas been regularly established
In business two years; he shall then be allowed
one apprentice; when he has been established
three years he shall be allowed two apprentices
The walking delegate shall have list of all APP
prentices, their names and residences. and the
name OF the contractor with whom they have
signed identures.
In no city have the trade union laws which
forbid the employment of non-nnion men and
the taking on of apprentices except on condi-
tions prescribed by the unions been more
inexorably enforced than in Chicago, and the
effort the contractors are now making to es-
cape from them comes after long series of
tyrannical acts on the part of the unions. The
right Of laboring men to combine is not dis
puted. 1t is the right of members of the COM
bination to say that only the members of it
shall be employed that is being resisted. The
contractors do not propose to blacklist
knights of Labor, but simply to insist that
they may employ if they see fit men who are
not Knights of Labor, and that the taking
of apprentices shall be governed by the laws
of the land and not by the laws of the
Knights. So long as the contractors con-
tend for only this much they are contending
for nothing more than their legal and moral
rights. In contest confined to these is
sues they ought to win.

The Chicago Labor Contest.

If the Chicago contractors adhere to the
position they have taken in the controversy
nth the trades unions there is likely to be a
cry notable contest that will settle some
things which need settling badly. The
strike and lockout now going on in Chicago
are in many features peculiar. The contro-
versy is not about the rate of wages, neither
is it chiefly about hours of work, or the par
H"ular day in which the employees shall be
:, though these two last questions are
ewhat involved. The principal questions
ssue are the right of the builders to hire
iom they see fit, whether members of
MON or not, and to take as many appren-
ices as they choose. The pay day matter

1t is familiar story that comes from
Paris. A crowded building, fire, panic,
insufficient means of egress, and as the hor-
rible consequence scores of human beings
trampled to death, or, cat off by the smoke
and flames, either suffocated or killed by
jumping from windows or the roof The de-
fects Of the building were known, and the
horrible catastrophe that would result from
a fire in it was foretold. But no attention
was paid the warnings There are doubtless
great many theatres in this country as
badly constructed and as devoid of means of
escape as the Theatre Comique. .Their con-

this terrible disaster to Paris it will be rem
edied. Unhappily, however, the lessons OF

The plans laid by the ambitious and able
management of the Boston & Maine are not
usually confded to the newspapers and the
public until they are the same as accom-
plished; but the present activity of the Bos-
ton d. Maine is sufficient to give color to
wilder prophecies. When last winter the
PRESS suggested that the Boston & Lowell
might soon be leased to the Boston & Maine
the suggestion was laughed at by some rail-
road men who pretended to know; yet this
week, in asking for charter for union de-

Maine and the Boston & Lowell speak of
the lease as an arrangement certain to be
made. Other and grander combinations of
the great New England road would not sur

Manitoba and the Canadian Pacific,

The people of Manitoba are finding them
selves in trouble with the Canadian Pacific
railway so soon. The road has deyeloped
into an oppressive monopoly with great
readiness and thoroughness. 1t has ALWAYS
been the desire of the people of Manitoba to
build railroad southwark to the United
States line. When the Canadian Pacific was
being built, the Dominion government, it is
said, promised the people of Manitoba. of
whom of course aid was wanted, that rival
railroad schemes should not be discouraged
after the Canadian Pacific trains were once
running. Those trains are now running.
clear through from Vancouver to Montreal,
and Manitoba asks leave to build her rail-
road from Winnipeg to the United States,
twice the Manitoba legislature has voted to
Dulld such road, and twice the Dominion
government, through its constitutional
right to disallow the act of provincial as
sembly, stopped such action. NOW the legis-
lature and people of Manitoba, all parties
agreeing in this, it is said, have determined
to eyade the Dominion's exercise of the pow
er OF disallowance and build road to the
United States at once. The cbinerical pro-
lect for line to Hudson Bay to connect
with a line of steamers, having failed; the only
hope of gaining competing route to prevent
the Canadian Pacific monopoly from draw
ing the life blood of the Province, is to build
road down to the United States. This the
people of Manitoba have said they will do,
whether the Dominion government consents
or not But now the president of the Cana
dian Pacific, Sir George Stephen, comes for
ward and says to them that if they persist
the railroad will remove its shops from Win
nipeg and defect the whole traffic of the
road from the province. Winnipeg is to be
side tracked" and the province made to
feel the high displeasure of the great Cana
dian monopoly. These threats Sir George
Stephen makes in an official letter to the
Premier Of Manitoba. In despatch print
ed in the PRESS few days ago, Sir George
said in explanation Of his attitude: "a lot
OF spectators are at the bottom Of the whole
affair. What they propose doing is to build
road from Winnipeg to connect with the
Northern Pacific. The real object of the
move is not to furnish additional accommo-
cations to the country because that is not re-
quired, but to give the American railways
the control of the Canadian Pacific. Once
the Northern Pacific reaches Winnipeg, the
Canadian Pacific Railroad is cut in two. The
vital question for the government and for
the people OF Canada to decide is, therefore.
whether Canada's transcontinentaI road is
to be maintained in its entirety" The peo-
lie OF Manitoba say the question is whether
lanada's transcontinental monopoly is to be
maintained in its entirety. Manitoba has
several times shown herself very stubborn.
She seems to have chance to do so again.
